Pre match switch for autonomous

I trust my life to a 3650 pound rolling chunk of metal every day that, if some silicon failed in just the right (wrong?) way, would splat me pretty quickly, but I have faith in engineering. On the other hand, it doesn't turn me upside down. - DonRotolo [more]

Re: Pre match switch for autonomous

A set of switches on the side car will get the job done. Since there is no interaction in auton, there's no reason you need to wait until your opponents place robots to decide your autonomous mode, the main reason to put the switches on the DS.

You can use a simple binary system to get 2^x auto modes with x switches. Or if you want to configure something in your auto mode, you can use a few switches to set a value from, say, 0 to 15. No idea why you'd want to do THAT though...
